The 49ers have agreed to a deal with Jordan Matthews. The former WR for multiple teams -- San Francisco, most recently -- has added weight and is transitioning to TE. He joins a crowd at his new position. Besides George Kittle, San Francisco sports TEs Ross Dwelley, Charlie Woerner, MyCole Pruitt and Josh Pederson. Odds seem against Matthews even making the regular-season roster, but we'll see where this goes. He should at least face an easier transition than Logan Thomas did from QB. Matthews turned 29 in July.
